About me

Does life seem difficult to cope with sometimes? Counselling can help you work through these difficult times and contact with me is your very first step. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental counselling service where you will be given time and space to reflect and discuss what is going on for you. Take the first step to make the changes that you want.......

I have experience working with individuals struggling with many different issues including:

depression

anxiety

bereavement

self esteem

domestic violence

anger

relationships.

I offer counselling to adults and young people. Counselling is about making a positive choice to help yourself and consider your life choices. Counselling can be a powerful and effective way to enable you to make changes to your life.

Feedback from a former client:'Thank you so much for being there for me. At a time when it seemed that nobody was there to listen, you were there to support me through this'

Sometimes it can be hard to talk to family and friends; counselling enables you to talk through situations that you may not be able to share with the people closest to you.

I am a fully qualified counsellor, offering an integrative approach which means I draw on a number of counselling approaches, depending on what is appropriate for you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I gained a distinction in a Foundation Degree in Arts Counselling at Teesside University and I recently completed a BA (Hons) Degree in Therapeutic Counselling.

I am an individual member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work within the guidelines of the BACP Code of Ethics. I have successfully completed the BACP Certificate of Proficiency.

I work as a counsellor in an agency that specialises in supporting bereaved clients, therefore, I understand how difficult it can be to share personal aspects of life especially at a time of bereavement.
